This policy should be updated before activating any feature that materially changes the information collected, including AI conversations, contact forms, accounts, analytics, advertising, newsletters, payments, or saved preferences.

Technical information

Information that may be processed automatically

When you request a webpage, limited technical information may be transmitted automatically as part of normal Internet communication.

Hosting, network, security, and diagnostic systems may process information such as:

  • Internet Protocol address or an abbreviated form of it.
  • Browser type, operating system, device type, and language settings.
  • Requested page, referring page, date, time, and general request information.
  • Performance information, error messages, security events, and diagnostic data.
  • General location information inferred from an Internet Protocol address.

The exact information available may depend on your browser, network, device, security settings, and the infrastructure used to deliver the website.

How information may be used

Limited operational purposes

Deliver the website

Technical information may be processed so pages, images, navigation, security features, and other site resources can be delivered to a visitor’s device.

Protect the website

Request and security information may be used to identify abuse, malicious traffic, automated attacks, technical failures, or attempts to interfere with the website.

Diagnose problems

Technical logs and error information may be used to investigate broken pages, failed deployments, performance problems, and other operational issues.

Respond to messages

Information voluntarily provided through an available contact method may be used to read, investigate, and respond to the message.

Meet legal obligations

Information may be preserved or disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, valid legal process, or legitimate security requirements.

Improve the resource

General usage patterns may be considered when deciding which pages require correction, improved navigation, clearer explanations, or better performance.

Contact information

Information you voluntarily provide

A future contact method may allow visitors to report an error, ask a general question, make a privacy request, or send other feedback.

When you voluntarily contact the site, the information you provide may include your email address, message, and any other details you choose to include.

Please provide only the information reasonably necessary for the request. Do not send passwords, payment details, government identification numbers, medical records, private counseling records, or other highly sensitive information.

The Contact page will identify whether direct contact is active and which method is currently available.

AI questions and conversations

The AI Scripture Guide is not active

Ask Jesus Clearly does not currently provide an active AI conversation service for public visitors.

Before an AI feature is launched, this policy must be updated to explain what question text is transmitted, which service providers receive it, how long it is retained, whether it is used for safety review, and whether it may be used to improve an AI system.

Visitors should never be encouraged to place highly sensitive personal information, passwords, private records, or emergency information into an AI question field.

Read AI Use & Limitations

Cookies and browser storage

No intentional behavioral advertising cookies

The current website code does not intentionally activate behavioral advertising, cross-site advertising profiles, or advertising pixels.

Essential technical storage may be used in the future when reasonably necessary for security, preferences, accessibility, routing, or other site functions.

Optional analytics, advertising, personalization, or other nonessential tracking should not be activated without first reviewing the required notices, controls, and consent procedures.

You may use your browser settings to inspect, block, or delete cookies and other browser storage. Blocking essential storage may affect some website features if such features are added.

Service providers

Infrastructure may process limited information

The website may rely on hosting, domain, network, security, deployment, and other technical service providers.

Those providers may process technical information when necessary to deliver their services, secure infrastructure, diagnose failures, comply with legal obligations, and prevent abuse.

Their processing is also governed by their own contracts, privacy notices, security practices, and legal obligations.

A provider should not be described as endorsing Ask Jesus Clearly merely because its technology is used to operate the website.

External websites

Other websites have their own privacy practices

Published guides may link to Bible resources, government agencies, professional organizations, research publications, or other external websites.

Ask Jesus Clearly does not control how those websites collect, use, retain, or disclose information.

Review the privacy notice and security practices of an external website before submitting personal information to it.

Retention

Information should not be kept longer than reasonably necessary

Technical logs may be retained for periods determined by operational, diagnostic, security, contractual, and legal requirements.

Messages voluntarily sent to the site may be kept while they are being reviewed, answered, documented, or reasonably needed for security and recordkeeping.

Information may be retained longer when reasonably necessary to investigate abuse, protect legal rights, comply with valid legal obligations, or preserve evidence of a security event.

Information that is no longer reasonably needed should be deleted, anonymized, or allowed to expire according to the systems and providers involved.

Security

Reasonable safeguards without impossible guarantees

Reasonable technical and organizational measures should be used to reduce unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure of information.

No website, hosting platform, email system, Internet transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Visitors should avoid sending highly sensitive information and should report suspected security or privacy problems through the Contact page.

Children's privacy

Do not submit personal information about children

The website is a general educational resource and is not designed to collect personal information from children under 13.

The current website does not provide visitor accounts or an active public AI question-submission service.

Children should not submit names, addresses, school information, phone numbers, private photographs, precise locations, medical records, or other personal information.

A parent or legal guardian who believes personal information from a child has been received may use the Contact page to request review and appropriate deletion.

Your choices

Privacy requests and practical controls

Limit what you share

Do not send passwords, financial information, government identification numbers, medical records, private confessions, or other highly sensitive information.

Use browser controls

Browsers may provide controls for cookies, local storage, permissions, saved form information, and clearing browsing data.

Request information

Depending on where you live and what information is held, you may be able to ask what personal information is maintained about you.

Request correction or deletion

Depending on applicable law and operational requirements, you may request correction or deletion of personal information you previously provided.

Report a privacy concern

You may use the Contact page to report a suspected privacy issue, unintended disclosure, or inaccurate statement in this policy.

Leave the website

You may stop using the website at any time. The site does not currently require an account or paid subscription to read its public pages.

Privacy rights and available procedures may differ depending on your location, the type of information involved, and applicable legal exceptions.

Changes to this policy

The policy will change as the website develops

This policy may be revised when website features, service providers, data practices, security procedures, or legal requirements change.

The updated version should be published on this page with a revised date.

A prominent notice may be added when a change materially affects how visitor information is collected or used.
